Troubled about Droyers' Passes.

ST. LOUIS, April ;S0.--A local paper
says that now but two Eastern lines, the
Nandalia and the Ohio and Mississippi,
refuse to grant passes and in conse-
quence are losing nearly all their live
stock traffic. They get no stock at all
for competing points. Ii j. understood
that the Nandalia, plainly seeing the ef-
tect entailed by its isolated position, is
anxious TO give such passes if its Eastern
connection. the Pan Handle. would Join
in the concession. The Wabash is Civ
ing return passes from Toledo and the
Indianapolis and St Louis from Cleve-
land and it is not believed the other
lines will long hold out in their refusal
10 make similar concessions.

These negroes lived comparatively com

TALLAHASSEE, FLA, April 3O.-This
has been very quiet day in political
matters. Almost all Of the Legislators
are out of the city, or home, or with
various visiting committees. The caucus
Monday night is awaited with much in
terest by everybody. 1t is almost uni
versally predicted that there will be a
break and the friends of each candidate
making claims i'm their favor. do not
myself think that there will be any ma
terial change Monday evening. However
i look for "a division in the ranks
during the week that will serve to elect
Senator. Whether this will BIZ Perry
or Bloxham or Dark Horse would be
hard To say, but an unbiased opinion
would place the chances ON Gov. Perry.
He has neld his own remarkably during
week of inactivity, and when the
break comes it will not he likely to be
among his adherents.
From very good source to-day, l was
informed that Pasco would Withdraw his
name from the caucus early in the
week, possibly Monday. Speaker Pasco
is ont OF the city, so that
L am not able tn verify this,
but it has strong ring of probability.
Should he do SO my informant says that
he will not Withdraw in favor of anyone
and will allow his forces to vote for
whom they choose while he will preserve
the same neutrality which distinguished
him during the early part of the contest.
All sorts of political gossip can be
picked up and among the most amusing
is the story floating around in BlOxham
circles that no election will he made dur
ing the session and at the end Governor
Perry will resign and be sue
ceeded by Lieutenant Governor
Mabry who will then appoint Perry to
the vacant Senatorial chair which he can
occupy until the next Legislature meets
two years hence. Such silly twaddle AZ
this is secuted, of course, by all sensible
people but passes for current coin among
the rank and file.

The Negro Mursterers under the influence

LOUISVILLE, KY, April 30.-Every-
thing was quiet this morning about the
Jail and court house square. The
meeting agreed upon by the mob lead
ers. last evening. did not materialize and
il is generally believed that all danger of
mob violence has passed. Turner and
Patterson spent miserable night. They
refused to eat and could not sleep with
any peace. They We're called upon by
two colored ministers who endeavored
to pacify them hut only partly sue
ceeded.
During the night tne prisoners We're
visited by numerous citizens, who, out
OF curiosity, wanted to see them
and hear what they had to- say. They
were in adjoining cells, and each could
distinctly hear what the other said.
When Turner was asked if Patterson
was guilty he would answer i'm the af-
hrmative and Patterson never failed to
reply that it was not true. \ dispute
would then follow, each swearing by all
that was true and holy that he was right
and the other wrong. Both prayed in
cessantly and when the mob was loud
est. they literally rolled on the floor in
fear and agony. When the prisoners
were told that the militia and gatling
gun had appeared they grew quieter and
rested under a feeling of safety.
The statement published in one of the
morning papers, indicating that Patter-
son was able tn prove an alibi, is not gen
orally believed. 1t is strongly contraclic-
tory of another story told by Patterson a
few days ago, when he claimed he had
been assisting a lady to move at the time
of the assault This, upon investigation,
was found to- be totally false.
Jennie Bowman continues i'm the same
